I remember being told in my very first history lecture at university that there’s no such thing as ‘the truth’. I also remember the passion with which the esteemed professor near-bellowed this message to a large group of fresh faced undergraduates. He was adamant. Another professor gave each and every one of his students a letter pointing out that one doesn’t go to university to learn history, but to read history. The message was clear: seeking out and drawing upon a variety of sources and perspectives is an essential part of a history degree.

Welcome to The Gale Review. Along with guest academics, archivists and student ambassadors, you’ll meet our international publishing teams as they unearth fascinating primary sources that have yet to be studied or explore frequently studied topics from new angles.
